Thanks for looking into it.  I must have misinterpreted:

  The R code files should only create R objects and not call functions
  with side effects such as require and options.

because isn't that expression creating an R object?  And something in
R CMD check must have changed recently because that code has been
there as long as ggplot2 has.  Regardless, thanks again for the help
as I never would have found that given that my understanding of the
problem was clearly flawed.

Thanks,

Hadley
